DH just points and shoots.....this was taken right after I got off the phone with Kate. While it was happening it seemed to go on forever, but I think it was really only a few minutes! How long, Kate? Any idea?

So I hung up and there was a lot of clean-up to do! Sorry for the mess, fluffy pics tomorrow.

I would be grinding my teeth too! Banamine and oxytocin would be in order if she were here. If you don't have the banamine, try children's advil (I think?)...Roll knows the dose?

According to my phone log, it was only 14 minutes!!

14 minutes!!!! Felt like hours! :p I can't even remember what position they were in other than that first one, sideways! And the last big one, upside down....was he breech, too? Can't remember! How weird is that!

I don't have children! She is toughing it out, poor gal. I'll get some to keep on hand. She is no longer grinding her teeth. She passed the placenta, I flushed her uterus, and she is sleeping now. So are the kids. Me, too, soon, I hope, as it is about 2:15 here now. zzzzzzzz.z.......

Congrats Free! And glad to hear you were there to help, Kate. :)

I would have been a nervous wreck. Sounds like a great job! :)
